A little smoke causes a big alarm on Heron Street

Traffic has been returned to normal following smoke reported on Heron Street this evening.

Battalion Chief Troy Palmer told KXRO that a call came in just after 5 pm about smoke and an orange glow above Harbor Shoes. When crews arrived, they found the smoke coming from the Rock Construction roof.

According to Palmer, the owner of the business had built a small fire and set the billows before closing the business. When smoke built up, it began to come through an opening in the roof.

There were no injuries. Both Rock Construction and Affordable Appliances on the other side of the wall from the fire saw no damage beyond smoke.
